List of named alloys-The Daily Ledger

This is a list of named alloys grouped alphabetically by base metal. Within these headings, the alloys are also grouped alphabetically. Some of the main alloying elements are optionally listed after the alloy names.

Alloys by base metal

Aluminium

AA-8000: used for electrical building wire in the U.S. per the National Electrical Code, replacing AA-1350. Al–Li (2.45% lithium): aerospace applications, including the Space Shuttle Alnico (nickel, cobalt): used for permanent magnets Aluminium–Scandium (scandium) Birmabright (magnesium, manganese): used in car bodies, mainly used by Land Rover cars. Devarda's alloy (45% Al, 50% Cu, 5% Zn): chemical reducing agent. Duralumin (copper) Hiduminium or R.R. alloys (2% copper, iron, nickel): used in aircraft pistons Hydronalium (up to 12% magnesium, 1% manganese): used in shipbuilding, resists seawater corrosion Italma (3.5% magnesium, 0.3% manganese): formerly used to make coinage of the Italian lira Magnalium (5-50% magnesium): used in airplane bodies, ladders, pyrotechnics, etc. Ni-Ti-Al (Titanium 40%, Aluminum 10%), also called Nital Y alloy (4% copper, nickel, magnesium) Aluminium also forms complex metallic alloys, like β–Al–Mg, ξ'–Al–Pd–Mn, and T–Al3Mn.
